Messiah of Evil (1973)

A young woman goes searching for her missing artist father. Her journey takes her to a strange Californian seaside town governed by a mysterious undead cult. Directed by Willard Huyck & Gloria Katz Filmed in 1971, released in 1973 “An undervalued gem of American gothic filmmaking.” – Slant Magazine “… somewhere between the low-budget ingenuity of Carnival of Souls and the mood of a Dario Argento or a Jean Rollin work. Exquisite death scenes take place in the most mundane of settings that are made all the more unsettling by Huyck and Katz’s command of negative space in their ‘scope’ shots.” – Brooklyn Magazine This film is presented by Videotheque co-manager Lucé Tomlin-Brenner HALLOWEEN EVE — Fri October 30, 2024 Doors 8:30 Film 9 | Projected in HD Folding chairs provided | Concessions available Vidéoclub at the microcinema Vidéothèque 4102 N Figueroa St Los Angeles 90065 See you at the microcinema! 📽️
